Abstract

We establish some relations between the class of truth-equational logics, the class of assertional logics, other classes in the Leibniz hierarchy, and the classes in the Frege hierarchy. We argue that the class of assertional logics belongs properly in the Leibniz hierarchy. We give two new characterizations of truth-equational logics in terms of their full generalized models, and use them to obtain further results on the internal structure of the Frege hierarchy and on the relations between the two hierarchies. Some of these results and several counterexamples contribute to answer a few open problems in abstract algebraic logic, and open a new one.

Dedicated to Professor Don Pigozzi

on the occasion of his 80th birthday
